I have always thought that a sentence starting with "may" should be polite. Next time I will trust my fiancee, and follow what she suggested me to write. :-)

@kiamlaluno You are right that "may" is polite; the problem is that "may" is used for permission, so normally you would never ask the other person if they have permission to do something (it is like saying "are you allowed to send me...").

@Kosmonaut: I see; it's completely different from what I meant.

Yet another wrong answer accepted. Even worse is getting someone who starts a sentence with "Your both sentences" telling us what is or isn't grammatically correct.

@Shinto Sherlock: Would you mind posting the right answer to let us know the truth?
